5.0 out of 5 stars An Awesome experience, January 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Floral Wedding Cakes & Sprays (Hardcover)

Wow, Alan Dunn does it again! The gumpaste flowers in this book are so lifelike and the instructions so clear, that he makes learning new flowers an enjoyable experience. A must have book for the professional decorator or for the cake show enthusiast.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another "must have" book for a gumpaste enthusiast, October 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Floral Wedding Cakes & Sprays (Hardcover)

As a professional cake decorator, I found Alan Dunn's new book a necessity in my library. His attention to detail and ability to instruct through writing makes the book a bargain. The book is open and in use more often than not.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful flowers - Detailed instructions, March 5, 2001

By A Customer

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Floral Wedding Cakes & Sprays (Hardcover)

This is my favorite author for gumpaste flowers by far! The flowers are very beautiful and life-like, and the instructions are detailed with step-by-step photos, unlike some other books I've seen. It would be a wonderful resource for beginners and experienced sugar artists alike. His arrangements are a bit too big for my personal taste, but are easily scaled down, and of course the cakes themselves are English style rather than American, but the focus and value is the information on the flowers themselves anyway. A must-have if you are interested in gumpaste flowers!

I was hoping for a book that was about real cakes and flowers. What I found was a book where the flowers are made and the cakes look like something you would not eat. Read more
